I’ve always said one of the best (and most frugal!) ways for an author to learn about book promotion is by reading books written by the pros. That’s why I wrote The Frugal Book Promoter (www.budurl.com/FrugalBkPromo and reviewed in this blog under Great Books).
Having said that, a new “Secrets of Book Promotion with Personal Guidance and Proven, Weekly Learning Opportunities” program from publishing expert Dan Poynter sounds like a perfect aid to any good book on book promotion. That’s because educators tell us we learn faster and retain better ideas we’ve already been introduced to.
Dan, author of more than 125 books, is often referred to as a “book futurist.” His new Para Promotion Program features a series of book promotion projects you can accomplish without leaving home. It’s is a collection of individual lessons with full instructions and personal guidance by successful industry experts. Its assignments show you what to do to reach your target audience—all over the world.
Each week, you’d receive a book promotion assignment from Dan. Each of the 42 book-promotion projects takes anywhere from five to 120 minutes to complete.
In effect, this program provides a crash course in book promotion that can be applied to both present and future books. Authors of one or more books may sign up for $497. Publishers may sign up several of their authors for just $397 each–less than $12 a week to reach buyers.
You can start the Para Promotion Program at any time. It runs for 42 weeks. For details, go to http://parapromotion.com and get started today.
